Good Deeds

In This Article:

In today's blog post I will be talking about some good deeds I have done in hopes to encourage others to go out and make someone else's day!

Donate your hair!

Don't worry it grows back! Donating your hair can be one of the easiest yet rewarding things you could do. For myself, I was getting ready to get a haircut back in December. While I was sitting in the salon chair, in that moment I had decided to donate my beautiful, thick hair. I figured instead of just cutting it, I would be able to help someone else out. There are many organizations you can donate to such as Locks of Love, Pantene Beautiful Lengths and Wigs for Kids. I had decided to send 10 inches of hair to Pantene Beautiful Lengths

Pay for someone else's coffee

Everyone loves their morning coffee! There is nothing more thoughtful than waiting in line at Starbucks needing that extra burst of energy and someone in front of you wants to pay for your coffee. It may not be a huge deal but to some people it could really make their day

Complete a charity walk!

Always be on the lookout for local events that are happening around you! You never know but there could be something going on that would really spark your interest. For instance, later this month I will be doing a Walk For Alzeimer's. A cause such as this one is one that is close and personal to myself. Being able to raise and donate money will make me feel happy but also really benefit upcoming research

Words of encouragement

Even leaving a small sticky note in the library could really make someone's day. A good deed never has to be anything huge or even cost money. You might never know if someone will ever even see the note. What matters is that you do things that make you happy for nothing in return

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
